Winner of BURA’s ‘Tools of the Trade’ Awards

“An excellent piece of work with accessible documentation and a staged process which allows for progression through the process of getting an organisation in the kind of shape needed to tender as well as writing up the content of a tender.”

At a critical time, where grant funding is a rare commodity, the Tender Readiness Toolkit could offer your business the options to thrive beyond grant funding.

Can you answer yes to any of the following questions?

• Has your business received grant funding in recent years?
• Is your grant funding reducing?
• Do you provide valuable services to society?
• Do you already work with or wish to work within the public sector to deliver services or provide products?
• Has your business identified a need to get ready to tender for contracts to deliver your services to local authorities, schools or other such public bodies?
• Does your business need to adapt and become tender ready?
• Are you struggling to decide where to start?

If you have answered yes to one or more of the above questions then the Tender Readiness Toolkit can help you!

This toolkit is designed to be a practical set of internal awareness tools for your organisation (from board level to team member level) to enable you to establish an awareness of its current position; its strengths and its weaknesses to help you plan for change.

What is on the Toolkit?

• Where Now for Your Organisation?
• Income generation
• Information Guides
• Organisation Capacity Assesment
• Marketing Strategy
• Personnel skills assessments
• PLUS MORE!!

By completing the tools on the CD-Rom your organisation will have a comprehensive view of where it stands regarding current activities and ambitions for the future.  It will highlight the strengths and weaknesses in particular areas of resource within your organisation.

The Tender Readiness Toolkit can be purchased by individual entrepreneurs or small organisations, however there is potential for this toolkit to be ordered in bulk (producing a unit saving) by larger organisations (such as infrastructure support organisations) and then distributed in specific regions to the organisations you support, enabling more social enterprises the chance to thrive and grow.
